Elkhart New York Central museum (#0155)

Exploring what was in the general South Bend area, I found that there was a museum in nearby Elkhart called the “National New York Central Railroad Museum”. Since the New York Central had been considered one of the primary railroads back during the peak of railroading and was particularly famous for its 20th Century Limited passenger train between Chicago and NYC, I decided to go take a look. The museum turned out to be nowhere near what I hoped, but the expedition to Elkhart was interesting.

The locomotive here is an EMD E8 built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) between 1949 and 1954; New York Central had 62 of them.
